GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -If two tectonic plates collide, they form a convergent plate boundary . Usually, one of the converging plates will move beneath the other, a process known as subduction. Deep trenches are features often formed where tectonic plates are being subducted and earthquakes are common at subduction zones as well.

Detailed explanation-2: -Convergent (Colliding): This occurs when plates move towards each other and collide. When a continental plate meets an oceanic plate, the thinner, denser, and more flexible oceanic plate sinks beneath the thicker, more rigid continental plate. This is called subduction.

Detailed explanation-3: -Convergent boundaries, where two plates are moving toward each other, are of three types, depending on the type of crust present on either side of the boundary-oceanic or continental . The types are ocean-ocean, ocean-continent, and continent-continent.

Detailed explanation-4: -Convergent Plate Boundary Development Where tectonic plates converge, the one with thin oceanic crust subducts beneath the one capped by thick continental crust. A subduction zone consists of material scraped off the ocean floor near the coast (accretionary wedge) and a chain of volcanoes farther inland (volcanic arc).
